1. It is an important characteristic that influence the behavior of soil.

It is the ratio of the

weight/mass of water to the weight/mass of dry soil.
a. Moisture Content
b. Specific Gravity
c. Unit Weight
d. Organic content
2. It is defined as the lowest moisture content at which the soil will flow upon the
application of a very small shearing force. It gives a certain measure of the shearing
resistance of a soil when mixed with water.
a. Plastic Limit
b. Plasticity Index
c. Liquid Limit
d. Shrinkage Limit
3. Since cement accounts for more than half the cost of concrete, the role of concrete mix
design is to come up with the largest amount of cement that will satisfy the required
properties of the hardened state of concrete.
a. True
b. False
c. Sometimes true.
d. Sometimes false
4. ___________________. It is the process of selecting a part (sample), which will be used
to judge the whole (lot). It shall be in accordance with the Standard Sampling

13-15. Sampling, testing and inspection requirements of pre-fabricated structure or
component structure materials if IMPORTED.
16. AASHTO stands for _______________________________. AMERICAN
ASSOCIATION OF STATE HIGHWAY and TRANSPORTATION OFFICIALS.
17. It is a documented proof of the quality of materials indicating it meets or it fails the
desired properties as called for in the specification requirements of an approved contract.
MATERIALS TESTING
18. The prescribed tests on the construction materials to be used in a project based on
approved contract quantities. Minimum Testing Requirements
19. It is a document with complete and accurate information about a project and duly
signed by authorized representatives for the submission of samples in a laboratory.
SAMPLE CARD
20. Samples are taken on a day-to-day basis during production or use of material, and
include samples of material from approved sources, production plants and at the project
site. Job Control samples are taken by the user to insure adequate quality control. JOB
